The Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren was one of the four great swordsmen of Emei, and his mentor was Pudu, a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the martial forest. Judging from the identity of the Jianghu Sect, Purdue was the chief disciple who could command the Five Sects and Thirteen Sects and Eighty-One Doors, and Xiahou Ren's status in the Jianghu as Pudu's top disciple was also very high. Xiahou Ren was in charge of the three portals of Shape, Bagua, and Taiji, because the door rules of these three portals were strict, and their disciples were walking properly in the rivers and lakes, so these three portals were called Shangsanmen, and Xiahou Ren could become the pawn of the Shangsanmen, in addition to the martial arts being able to suppress the heroes, his character must also be first-class.
Xiahou Ren's character is quite elderly, and he is not only extremely popular in the jianghu, but also Xiahou Ren's reputation in this martial arts world is also very high. In the jianghu gate sect, the upper three doors, the middle eight doors, and the lower five doors are also respected. Although Xiahou Ren's jianghu status was very high, he never held a shelf in his treatment of people and things, even a female demon head as arrogant and arrogant as Long Yunfeng, who had no one in sight, could not find xiahou Ren half a fault, and from this point it could also be seen that Xiahou Ren was a very low-key martial arts master.
According to the arrangement of the Wulin Heavenly List, the Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren only ranked eleventh, while his younger disciple Bai Yizi ranked sixth among the fourteen masters of the Heavenly List, which easily made people think that Bai Yizi's martial arts were much higher than his master's brother Xiahou Ren, especially Bai Yizi could compete with xia Suiliang, the golden lantern great disciple of the martial sage Yu He. According to the book, Xiahou Ren didn't seem to even have the certainty of victory for gu yue grand mage who ranked twelfth in the heavenly list.
In The view of Sanyu, the Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren is a greatly underestimated Tianbang master, and his soft-hearted personality makes his combat strength not fully exerted, because for martial arts masters, factors such as calm personality or impatience, fierce shots or reservations can affect a person's combat strength value. Xiahou Ren belongs to the benevolent gentleman who can be reasonable and will not do anything, and unless he has to, Xiahou Ren will not have the opportunity to make a heavy hand or use the killing skill, which may be the main reason why Xiahou Ren's martial arts have been underestimated.
1. Purdue and Yuhe's disciples
The martial saint Yu He was the most powerful in martial arts among the three saints of wulin, but he was not the most skilled teacher of disciples, yu he's Bixia Palace gathered hundreds of people who came to learn from him, but the disciple who could become a first-class master in the martial forest was only one golden lantern swordsman Xia Suiliang, and counting the one-breath immortal Kong Liang in the "Dragon and Tiger Wind and Cloud Society", Yu He really had only this "one and a half", because Kong Liang was halfway removed by him as a listed disciple.
The eighty-one disciples who were the chief of the eighty-one doors, Pudu, were one of the four apprentices, the eldest apprentice Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren became the chief of the three doors, the Han River lonely goose Shang Yunfeng, the one-word eyebrow female Ma Fenggu, and the white-clothed prodigy Xiaojian Demon Bai Yizi These three apprentices are also first-class swordsmen in the martial forest, especially Bai Yizi's rank in the martial arts heavenly list is only a little inferior to that of the Golden Lantern Swordsman Xia Suiliang, and there is only one ten thousand years of ancient Buddha in the middle.
If you compare Purdue and Yuhe's apprentices, it is not difficult to see that Purdue's apprentices are of higher overall quality than YuHe's apprentices, so what is the reason for this? Is it really just because "there are only disciples and no teachers"? In Three Fish's view, the main reason for this situation is in the collection of disciples, not just in the disciples. To put it bluntly, Purdue's apprentices are carefully selected, in order to find a good apprentice Purdue can go thousands of miles to find good seedlings, for example, Purdue is to hear the name of Bai Yizi's prodigy to "visit the apprentice", it can be said that Purdue is thoughtful in accepting apprentices.
The principle of the martial saint Yu He in accepting disciples is that those who come do not refuse, he first teaches some martial arts to this group of named disciples, and then selects the best people from this group to focus on teaching, so as to be accepted as a formal disciple. Although this seems to be "the best of the best", but this has a prerequisite is that the qualifications and talents of this group of people are uneven, and there may be very few good seedlings among the hundreds of people who really practice martial arts, which is also the main reason why Xia Suiliang can quickly stand out and come to the top after entering the Hemen very late.
Xia Suiliang may not be gifted, he is just more enlightened than others, if Xia Suiliang is really a martial arts wizard, pudu, the head of the eighty-one disciplines, will not politely refuse Xia Suiliang who followed Shi Baoshan to worship for a long time, because at this time Pudu had just received Bai Yizi, as the saying goes, "a sheep is also a rush, two sheep are also released", a martial arts master should not easily reject a person with excellent qualifications. The reason why Xia Suiliang's martial arts were able to surpass Bai Yizi later was that to a large extent, "the master's upper limit of martial arts determines the lower limit of the apprentice's martial arts", and if it comes to martial arts talent alone, Xia Suiliang is likely to be inferior to Xiahou Ren, Ma Fenggu, and Shang Yunfeng.
Second, the underrated sky list master
Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren, as Pudu's top disciple, was the future head of the Eighty-One Doors, and if Xiahou Ren's martial arts talent was average, Purdue would definitely not entrust him with this burden. To become the chief of the eighty-one disciplines, if the martial arts can not be among the best in the martial arts, it is difficult to convince the public, but we found that Xiahou Ren's martial arts ranked only eleventh in the Heavenly List, which is a bit unusual, so The Three Fishes feel that Xiahou Ren is an underrated Heavenly List master.
Although Xiahou Ren's martial arts skills were not as good as his little disciple Bai Yizi, as the eldest disciple of the Top Gate, he was not much inferior to the Little Sword Demon. In Sanyu's view, Bai Yizi's strength mainly lies in the sword technique, and the power of Bai Yizi in the palm may not exceed Xiahou Ren's by much. Purdue passed on the Buddha lightsaber he had worn for half his life to Bai Yizi, which was also to make Bai Yizi feel like a tiger when he lit up his sword.
At the Dragon and Tiger Storm Meeting, the little sword demon Bai Yizi and the five yin swordsman Zhuang Ziqin tried the palm technique, and the two fought for more than ninety rounds, Bai Yizi saw that he could not get a bargain in the palm technique, he used his brain, and finally used a trick to kick Zhuang Ziqin to death. In the early version of "The Great Man with the White Eyebrows", after the group of heroes fought the golden lantern, Bai Yizi rushed to meet the golden lantern swordsman Xia Suiliang, and the five yin swordsman Zhuang Ziqin disobeyed Bai Yizi, and as a result, Bai Yizi used the Buddha lightsaber for more than a dozen rounds to behead Zhuang Ziqin.
The Five Yin Swordsman Zhuang Ziqin was not a Heavenly List Master, and his martial arts level was at best only close to the edge level of the Heavenly List Master. Even the Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren could defeat Zhuang Ziqin, and Bai Yizi, who was the fifth in the Heavenly List, and Zhuang Ziqin fought for more than ninety rounds, which showed that Bai Yizi's palm technique and sword technique were not the same level. In addition, the five-yin swordsman Zhuang Ziqin belongs to the master of the concentration on the palm technique, which can be seen from his nickname, the word "five yin" refers to his good at playing the five yin palm, and from the nickname of Bai Yizi, the three words of "little sword demon" are not difficult to see that Bai Yizi is a swordplay that occupies a must.
Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren, as the top disciple of Pudu, is also the successor of the future eighty-one masters, Pudu naturally focuses on the all-round development of martial arts when teaching Xiahou Ren martial arts, that is to say, Xiahou Ren's martial arts knowledge and precision are balanced and improved, and weapons, palm techniques, light skills, and internal skills are almost all at the same level.
To take a simple example, Xiahou Ren himself wore a sword, but the accuracy of his sword technique was not inferior to his sword technique, Bai Yunrui wanted to specialize in sword techniques, Xiahou Ren taught Baiyun Rui the magic trick of the Bagua Wansheng Golden Sword, especially Bai Yunrui followed Xiahou Ren to improve his internal skills for just over a year, and his internal skills were no longer under Xu Liang, the great warrior of Baimei. On the explosive power and exquisite tricks of martial arts, Xiahou Ren may not be as good as Bai Yizi, but on the foundation of martial arts cultivation, Bai Yizi is also inferior to Xiahou Ren, after all, when Bai Yizi worshiped Pudu as a teacher, Xiahou Ren had already gained the nickname of Baiyun Swordsman in the jianghu.
Talk about the Battle of the Three Churches
When Bai Yunrui and Fang Shu'an visited the three churches at night, the Baiyun swordsman Xiahou Ren appeared and rescued Bai Yunrui from the tiger's mouth, although Xiahou Ren was attacked by the Five Yin Swordsman Zhuang Ziqin and was severely damaged by the Five Yin Palm, but Xiahou Ren jumped up with a carp and could also run out of several powerful enemies with Bai Yunrui, which shows the depth of Xiahou Ren's skill. We can compare that after the Golden Lantern of the Eight Elders, Xia Suiliang confronted Bai Yizi when he was short of strength, and as a result, he was slapped on the shoulder by Bai Yizi, and as a result, Xia Suiliang had no chance to escape at all.
If it were not for the intercession of everyone, Xia Suiliang would have died under Bai Yizi's Buddha lightsaber, in the printed version, Xia Suiliang was hit by the old sword immortal Tao Fu'an, who ranked eighth in the heavenly list, and as a result, Xia Suiliang did not have the ability to escape, although this was in the case of Xia Suiliang's lack of strength, but the Baiyun Rui swordsman Xiahou Ren also won the Five Yin Palm after fighting four strong enemies in succession, plus the Five Yin Palm itself was poisonous, so the Baiyun Swordsman Xiahou Ren was able to escape from the Three Churches by relying on excellent skills.
Let's talk about xiahou ren's big fight between the three churches, in the face of an extremely dangerous situation, Xiahou Ren silently said to the direction of Mount Emei before he was on the battlefield: "Master, the disciple is going to kill the ring today", but when Xiahou Ren and the reclining Buddha Kunlun monk fought in one place, Xiahou Ren still spared his men, so after more than forty rounds, the reclining Buddha Kunlun monk was shocked by Xiahou Ren's slap for a long distance and passed out, and the book explained that Xiahou Ren had left affection in the position and palm strength of the palm. Otherwise, Xiahou Ren could have taken the life of the Reclining Buddha Kunlun monk with one slap. At the same time, it could be seen that if Xiahou Ren really moved the killing machine, the Reclining Buddha Kunlun Monk would not be able to last forty rounds at all.
The lobby master of the three churches turned his palm to shake the Western Heavenly Fang Tianhua for the second time to fight Xiahou Ren, at this time Xiahou Ren also saw that the other party was going to fight with wheels, but Xiahou Ren was still soft in heart and did not have a desperate heart. Xiahou Ren still fought with Fang Tianhua for more than forty rounds to defeat him without injuring him or his life, and Zhan Mingqi, the iron master of the Second Hall, went up to fight Xiahou Ren, and the result was still the same as the previous two, and he was injured by Xiahou Ren forty times. If Xiahou Ren really spread out and fought happily, it was estimated that these three would be difficult to support twenty rounds in front of Xiahou Ren, and in the end, Xiahou Ren was too kind, which buried the hidden danger for his fourth formation.
The golden lantern swordsman Xia Suiliang appeared for the fourth time, which was full of calculations, he knew that although the three martial arts of the Reclining Buddha Kunlun Monk, Fang Tianhua, and Zhan Mingqi were not Xiahou Ren's opponents, Xia Suiliang still watched these three go up and "beat up", which was to consume part of Xiahou Ren's physical strength first, so that he Xia Suiliang would have no suspense in coming out against Xiahou Ren to win. If Xia Sui's conscience was not a little jealous of Xiahou Ren, the chief of the three doors, according to the ranking gap in the Wulin Heavenly List, Xia Suiliang's first shot would easily take Xiahou Ren, but Xia Suiliang did not do this, and the reason was intriguing.
When Xia Suiliang had not yet worshipped the martial sage Yu He as a teacher, Xiahou Ren was already a famous swordsman in the jianghu, to put it bluntly, the starting point of Xia Suiliang's martial arts path was roughly at the same time as Bai Yizi, although their martial arts were all on the top later, but they had not really fought, and once they faced each other, they still needed to be a little cautious. Xia Suiliang dealt with Xiahou Ren with ease and waiting, although Xiahou Ren was slightly slow in his lack of strength and moves, but Xia Suiliang was still difficult to defeat Xiahou Ren in moves. Xia Suiliang's hands grabbed Xiahou Ren's arm, and he thought victory was in sight, when Xiahou Ren's advantages in martial arts breadth appeared.
Xiahou Ren flipped his wrists over and put them on Xia Suiliang's wrists, and the four hands twisted together and the two sides fought together. Xia Suiliang lifted Xiahou Ren up three times, and Xiahou Ren also lifted Xia Suiliang up twice, it can be said that Although Xiahou Ren lacked strength, he did not suffer much loss, at this time, the Five Yin Swordsman Zhuang Ziqin, who was hiding in the shadows, took advantage of Xiahou Ren's efforts with Xia Suiliang to hit a five-yin slap. If Xia Suiliang wins ten to nine, Zhuang Ziqin will undoubtedly be superfluous, and he will still be hated by Xia Suiliang.
Because Xia Suiliang was arrogant and arrogant, he was most opposed to others inserting a lever during the fight, which was more serious than punching him in the face, but after Zhuang Ziqin slapped Xiahou Ren to the ground, Xia Suiliang did not blame Zhuang Ziqin, which showed that Xia Suiliang wanted to easily defeat Xiahou Ren not as easily as he thought. Of course, Xiahou Ren's combat strength was certainly not as strong as Xia Suiliang's, but Xiahou Ren's martial arts were broad and solidly rooted, and Xia Suiliang really needed a lot of effort to win, which was enough to prove that Xiahou Ren's all-round development of martial arts masters was indeed underrated on the heavenly list.
